The Virgin Islands Office of Veterans Affairs is pleased to announce the official re-opening of \u201cThe Eryle Alric Rohlsen Veterans Affairs Building\u201d in Estate Richmond.<\/p>\n
Governor Albert Bryan Jr, Adrienne L. Williams-Octalien Director of the Office of Disaster Recovery, and other distinguished guests including members of the Rohlsen family attended the ribbon cutting for the newly constructed Eryle Alrick Rohlsen Veterans Affairs Building in Watergut today.<\/p>\n
Eryle Alric Rohlsen (deceased) answered the first call to duty by enlisting in the United States Army in July of 1944 until he was honorably discharged in April of 1946 at the rank of Tech Sergeant. After his separation from the military, Mr. Eryle Rohlsen continued as a servant within his beloved community, the U.S. Virgin Islands. He served in the capacity of Commander of the American Legion District 10 and was also elected as the first, and thus far the only person from the Virgin Islands, to be elected as President of the National Association of State Director of Veterans Affairs.<\/p>\n
The staff of \u201cThe Eryle Alric Rohlsen Veterans Affairs Building\u201d was relocated in 2016 due to fair wear and tear and the need for renovation to the building. During the initial process, the building suffered additional damages as a direct result of the 2017 Hurricane Season and further delayed the process. \u201cWe are happy to be back at our new and improved home office. It is also our pleasure to assist the Bryan\/Roach administration in progressively ensuring that the legacy of Virgin Islands heroes\/honorees continue to live on appropriately\u201d, said Director Farrell.<\/p>\n
The project funded by a $105K FEMA Public Assistance Grant was completed by O’Reilly Construction.<\/p>\n
\n
Veterans on St. Croix can now look forward to accessing essential services and benefits at the newly renovated facility in Christiansted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
